What is Follistatin 344 used for?
Follistatin 344 is most commonly used for bodybuilders / lifters experimenting with muscle-growth pathways; researchers studying myostatin biology. A compound aimed at unlocking muscle growth by releasing the body's natural brake on it. A myostatin antagonist that binds and neutralizes myostatin, the negative regulator of muscle growth. Theoretical muscle-growth signal, limited human data. Human evidence for Follistatin 344 is limited, so these are the goals people pursue with it, not guaranteed outcomes.
